Abstract

Athens in the last third of the fourth century presented an ambivalent picture: on the one hand, the epigraphic, literary, and archaeological evidence testifies to how the economic elite could achieve prominence, prestige, and influence through euergesia. On the other hand, the democratic institutions in which the equality of citizens was manifested appeared more vital than ever before. In contrast to previous research, this study attempts a comprehensive approach through public finance as a determining political factor to analyze the relationship between democracy, the economic elite, and administrative expertise, starting from Weber’s concept of notables (Honoratioren). The aim is to reveal the fundamental changes in Athenian democracy in the roughly hundred years between the fall of the Thirty (403) and the exile of Demetrius of Phalerum (307).

Notes

  1. 1.

    On Honoratiorenschaft– or more generally on the concentration of power in the hands of an elite – as a fundamental socio-political phenomenon of the (late) Hellenistic period, see Touloumakos (1967) 152–153. Deininger (1971) 17 with further reading. Davies (1981) 303–314. Gauthier (1985). Faraguna (1992) 381–394. Quass (1993). Habicht (1995b). Carsana (1996). Gehrke (2003) 193. Hamon (2007). Scholz (2008).

  2. 2.

    In this respect, the remarks of Schmidt-Hofner (2016) 337–339 are symptomatic, who notes the participation of broad sections of the population in political decision-making processes, and hence estimates the influence of a Honoratioren class to have been low.

  3. 3.

    Mossé (1962) and (1979a). Cf. for example also Bleicken (1995) 479, who assumes an alienation of the wealthy from democracy as a consequence of a perpetual financial shortage and a resignation of the demos, which he interprets as symptoms of a democratic crisis in the fourth century.

  4. 4.

    On euergetism as a form of rule, see Veyne (1976).

  5. 5.

    Rhodes (1980). Bleicken (1987) and (1995) 75–78.

  6. 6.

    This forms one of the main arguments also for a continuity of democracy into the middle of the second century in D. M. Lewis (1984) 57–58 and Habicht (1995b). See also Sect. 1.4 below.

  7. 7.

    Grieb (2008). Carlsson (2010).

  8. 8.

    Even before Grieb (2008) and Carlsson (2010), for example Gauthier (1985) and (1993a). Gruen (1993). Wörrle/Zanker (1995). Ma (1999) and (2003). Gehrke (2003) deconstructed the decadence model and emphasized the vitality of the Hellenistic polis in different aspects.

  9. 9.

    As a representative example, Schmidt-Hofner (2016) 339 cites the argumentative relationship between decline, democracy and Honoratioren: “Von einem schleichenden Verfall der Demokratie kann insofern nicht die Rede sein. Es ist daher auch davon auszugehen, dass die restaurative politische Kultur der Zeit vor und nach 338 von breiten Bevölkerungsschichten in Athen getragen wurde, nicht nur von einer konservativen Honoratiorenschicht.” Schmidt-Hofner thus conceptualizes Honoratioren as a stratum that had a specific mentality and whose genesis he equates with a political crisis. As a symptom of decline, he names a clash of interests among political actors, while vitality is evidenced by a discourse of democracy.

  10. 10.

    Heller (2009).

  11. 11.

    But this is precisely what – implicitly or explicitly – all studies dealing with democracy in the Hellenistic period do; Classical Athens – meaning Periclean Athens – always forms the model of a democracy. So also Mann (2012) 22.

  12. 12.

    Today, a distinction is made between pseudo-democracies, which include, for example, dictatorships in which apparently democratic institutions, such as elections, exist; defective democracies, in which democratic structures exist, though with procedural deficits; and constitutions in which the essential features of democracy (for example, political participation of citizens, equality before the law, free elections, separation of powers) are realized. Nevertheless, even today there is no uniform understanding of democracy, which is why all attempts to measure democracy are always open to debate. – On the use of the term “pseudo-democracy”, see Weber (1917). On the theoretical concept of defective democracies, see Merkel et al. (2003). On democracy measurement, for example, T. Müller/Pickel (2007).

  13. 13.

    Therefore, Nippel (1980) 107 in referring to Weber can claim – although without further substantiating it –, that “die Demokratie [konnte] nicht ohne Honoratioren funktionieren”. Accordingly, he apparently uses a relatively broad concept of Honoratioren. In what follows, however, the term will be used more specifically. See in more detail below Sect. 1.2. On Nippel’s conception see also below Sect. 1.4.

    The two terms make clear the collective property idea in which every citizen had a share. See, for instance, on κοινόν Hdt. 7,144,1. Thuc. 6,6,3. 6,17,3. 8,1,2 and on δημόσιον, for instance, Thuc. 6,31,3 and 5. 1,73. Demosth. or. 21,182.

    In 1628, in the Petition of Right, Parliament urged the English King to recognize Parliament’s sovereign right to tax and levy. These rights were incorporated into the Bill of Rights in 1689. In December 1773, the protest of the North American colonists against the fiscal decisions of the British Parliament found expression in the Boston Tea Party. The colonists had long felt it unjust that they should pay taxes on which they themselves could not vote. The distance from the mother country did not allow them to exercise civil rights in elections and directly influence the composition of a representative body. Resistance to this was formed, which as early as 1768 was succinctly subsumed under “no taxation without representation” [London Magazine (August 1768) 89] and demanded the sending of their own deputies. This connection between direct political participation and the sovereign right to taxation was deemd of great importance in the ensuing War of Independence. The formation of representative democracy was therefore closely linked to the development of taxation. Those who paid taxes also wanted to be able to participate in the political decision-making process. See Political Register’s Demophoon: A Dissertation on the original Dispute between Great-Britain and her Colonies (1770) 157. See http://www.notaxationwithoutrepresentation.com/ (last accessed 27/04/2014). – Today, the control of budget remains the most important prerogative of Parliament.

    The division into passive and active tax subjects therefore applies only to the non-citizens in Athens, who were compelled to pay taxes without any claim to consideration.

    Weber (1922a) 141–142: “Hence in the measure in which those who have to work are becoming unable to get away from it, direct democratic administration will tend to turn into rule by notables (honoratiores). We have already met the type as that of the bearer of a special social honor connected with the mode of living. Here we now encounter another indispensable requirement, viz., that capacity to take care of social administration and rule as an honorific duty which derives from economic position. Hence we shall tentatively define honoratiores as follows: Persons who, first, are enjoying an income earned without, or with comparatively little, labor, or at least of such a kind that they can afford to assume administrative functions in addition to whatever business activities they may be carrying on; and who, second, by virtue of such income, have a mode of life which attributes to them the social “prestige” of a status honor and thus renders them fit for being called to rule. Frequently such rule by honoratiores has developed in the form of deliberating bodies in which the affairs to be brought before the community are discussed in advance; such bodies easily come to anticipate the resolutions of the community or to eliminate them and thus to establish, by virtue of their prestige, a monopoly of the honoratiares.” [emphasis in original] – Athens is of no consideration in his argumentation, while he assumes without further justification that in Rome an Honoratiorenschaft of the nobiles was in power, cf. for example Weber (1922a) 182–183, 207 and 551.

  31. 31.

    Weber (1922a) 144 and 354. Their wealth and authority is often – but not exclusively – based on land ownership, ibid. 333 and 343. He locates this type of ‘landlordish’ Honoratioren in Archaic and early Classical times (ibid. 381). – It is in this sense that Nippel (1980) 107 apparently uses the term Honoratioren when he asserts, without further substantiation, that “die Demokratie nicht ohne Honoratioren funktionieren [konnte], die weitgehend für die Politik lebten.”

  32. 32.

    Weber (1922a) 145: “The growing complexity of the administrative tasks and the sheer expansion of their scope increasingly result in the technical superiority of those who have had training and experience, and will thus inevitably favor the continuity of at least some of the functionaries. Hence, there always exists the probability of the rise of a special, perennial structure for administrative purposes, which of necessity means for the exercise of rule. As mentioned before, this structure may be one of honoratiores acting as equal ‘colleagues,’ or it may tum out to be ‘monocratic,’ so that all functionaries are integrated into a hierarchy culminating in one single head.

  33. 33.

    Weber (1922a) 252.

  34. 34.

    However, for Weber, there are different types of Honoratioren depending on which factors (for example, property or knowledge) determine their honor, cf. (1922a) 252. Therefore, there are also Honoratioren armies that claim military honor for themselves (ibid. 272). If military honor is combined with further economic and social criteria, warriors form a Honoratiorenschaft as in Sparta. In the same way, he can speak of “feudal or official Honoratioren” (ibid. 505).

    The financial sociologist Rudolf Goldscheid (1926) 148 is famous for his dictum according to which “das Budget gleichsam das aller verbrämenden Ideologie entkleidete Gerippe des Staates darstellt”. Cf. also Schumpeter (1918) 4: “Vor allem ist die Finanzgeschichte jedes Volkes ein wesentlicher Teil seiner Geschichte überhaupt: Ein ungeheurer Einfluss auf das Völkerschicksal geht von dem wirtschaftlichen Aderlass aus, den die Bedürfnisse des Staates erzwingen, und von der Art, wie das Ergebnis dieses Aderlasses verwendet wird. Der unmittelbar formende Einfluss der Finanzbedürfnisse und der Finanzpolitik der Staaten weiters auf die Entwicklung der Volkswirtschaft und damit auf alle Lebensformen und Kulturinhalte erklärt in manchen Geschichtsperioden so ziemlich alle großen Züge der Dinge und in den meisten sehr viel davon – nur in wenigen nichts.” Similarly, Bleicken (1995) 291 on ancient conditions: “Manche Bereiche des staatlichen Lebens sind selbst bei grundsätzlich verschiedener Verfassungsform doch gleich oder ähnlich organisiert, wie etwa das Kriegswesen oder Götterkult bei dem Wechsel von einer oligarchischen zu einer demokratischen Regierungsform keiner oder nur geringfügiger Änderung der diesen Bereichen zugrunde liegenden Organisationsprinzipien bedürfen. Andere Gebiete staatlicher Tätigkeit sind hingegen so eng mit der jeweiligen politischen Grundordnung verbunden, dass sie deren Wesen in ihrem formalen Aufbau widerspiegeln und darum auch eine Änderung dieser Ordnung nicht unbeschadet überdauern. Das öffentliche Finanzwesen gehört zu den letzteren […].”

    Consequently, the focus is solely on public finances at the polis level; the deme level is of only selective relevance to this question.

    Hypereides, for example, who was highly esteemed in antiquity, is said to have written more than fifty speeches, of which, however, only six have survived in addition to some fragments. Likewise, Dinarchus is said to have written about sixty speeches, of which actually only three have survived in addition to some fragments. Lysias was even attributed 425 speeches in antiquity, of which 172 titles are known today. See the references below.

  62. 62.

    Three speeches and three tetralogies on fictitious murder cases have survived from him. On Antiphon of Rhamnous, who is probably not identical with the sophist of the same name, as Pendrick (2010) 1–26 contra Gagarin (2002) assumes, and his speeches see generally Blass (1887–1898) I 91–203. Paulsen (2011).

  63. 63.

    A total of four speeches by him have survived; two of them are Hellenistic or Roman forgeries (or. 3 and 4). The speech On His Return (or. 2), on the other hand, was delivered in 411, so that only the speech On the Mysteries (or. 1), delivered around 399, which, however, refers to the events of 415, dates from the time after the Peloponnesian War. On Andokides and his speeches, see generally Blass (1887–1898) I 280–339. Missiou (1992). M. Edwards (1995). Gribble (1997). E. M. Harris (2000).

  64. 64.

    As a logographer, the Syracusan metic mainly wrote court orations (exceptions are the epideictic orations or. 2 and 33 and the symbouleutic or. 34), of which 172 titles have survived and 31 are almost complete; the introductions of three other speeches (or. 32–34) are found in Dionysius of Halicarnassus, while the (perhaps spurious) Erotikos (or. 35) is preserved in Plato (Phaidr. 230e–234c). Two speeches are certainly forgeries (or. 6 and 20); five others are disputed as to their authenticity (or. 2. 8. 9. 14. 15). – On Lysias and his speeches see generally Blass (1887–1898) I 339–644. Dover (1968). Weissenberger (1987) and (2003). Bearzot (2007).

  65. 65.

    Of his 64 court speeches, eleven have survived that deal exclusively with inheritance disputes. The titles of more than forty speeches (no longer extant), however, attest to a wider range of topics. For example, a fragment of a twelfth speech that we can grasp today deals with a citizen rights case (Dionys. De Isaio 17). Isaeus contributed significantly to the refinement of Greek rhetoric; his style was innovative and considered exemplary, which is why Demosthenes and Isocrates even adopted various phrases verbatim. – On Isaeus and his speeches, see generally Blass (1887–1898) II 486–577 Avramović (1997). Ferrucci (1998). M. Edwards (2007). Griffith-Williams (2013).

  66. 66.

    From him, 21 speeches and nine letters are preserved, in which Isocrates comments on the political questions and issues of his time. However, he himself never performed as an orator. It is assumed that six of these speeches originate from his logograph activity, while the remaining fifteen were distributed in writing. His speech Antidosis (or. 15) bears autobiographical features. – On Isocrates and his speeches, see generally Blass (1887–1898) II 1–331. Bringmann (1965). Fuks (1972). Walter (1996).

    In total, the Corpus Demosthenicum comprises 61 speeches, 56 prooimia, and six letters. However, only about fifty speeches and five letters are considered genuine; not by Demosthenes are or. 7. 17. 10 (?). 11. 13. 46. 49. 50. 52. 53. 59.

    Three extensive speeches are preserved by Aeschines, all of which (or. 1 Against Timarchus, 2 On the Embassy, and 3 Against Ctesiphon) were directed against Demosthenes, the counter-speeches on which (Demosth. or. 19 On the False Embassy and 18 On the Crown) we also possess. – On Aeschines and his speeches, see generally Blass (1887–1898) III.2 153–266. Kindstrand (1982). E. M. Harris (1995). Fisher (2007).

  69. 69.

    Only one speech by Lycurgus (Against Leocrates) is complete, fifteen others have survived in fragments. Lycurgus is of the highest importance not so much for his surviving speeches as for his political position and influence on the public finances of Athens. – On him and his speech see generally Blass (1887–1898) III.2 95–135.

  70. 70.

    The speeches of Hypereides, who was highly esteemed in antiquity, have only been preserved on papyrus; of the 77 or 52 speeches recognized as genuine in antiquity, we thus know six almost completely. Further fragments have been preserved, among others, in the so-called Archimedes palimpsest. – On Hypereides and his speeches see generally Blass (1887–1898) III.2 1–95. Worthington (1999).

  71. 71.

    Of his extensive output – 160 or 61 speeches have been attributed to him – three shorter speeches are extant in connection with the so-called Harpalus Affair (against Demosthenes, Aristogeiton and Philocles). – On Dinarchus and his speeches, see generally Blass (1887–1898) III.2 289–333.

  72. 72.

    The speeches [Demosth.] or. 45 and 46 (Against Stephanos I and II). 49 (Against Timotheus). 50 (Against Polycles). 52 (Against Callippus). 53 (Against Nicostratus). 59 (Against Neaera) are attributed to Apollodorus. Thus there are more speeches by him than by Andocides or Lycurgus, for example. On Apollodorus and his speeches in general, see Schäfer (1885–1887) IV 130–199. Pearson (1966) Trevett (1992) and the literature cited in Sect. 4.2.2 note 216.

Although the speeches of Isaeus (approx. 420–approx. 340) date from this time, more precisely from the period 389–346/5, they provide little relevant information for the present question. Nevertheless, they offer a valuable insight into Attic inheritance and property law, as well as into Athenian economic and social contexts in the elite milieu in general.

    Number of speeches including spurious ones or those not delivered: Antiphon (6); Andocides (4); Lysias (31); Isocrates (21); Isaeus (12); Lycurgus (1); Hypereides (6); Demosthenes (61); Aeschines (3); Dinarchus (3).

    Demosthenes was a great admirer of his rhetorical skills (Plut. Demosthenes 5, 1–3. Demosth. or. 18,219), as was Aeschines (2,124). See Hochschulz (2007) 1–3.

    The first conflict to be carried out in court (Aeschin. or. 1 Against Timarchus and 2 On the False Embassy; Demosth. or. 19 On the False Embassy) arose over the delegation sent to Philip II in 346, which included both Aeschines and Demosthenes and led to the so-called Peace of Philocrates. The two opponents clashed again in court in the aftermath of the crown proposed by Ctesiphon for Demosthenes (Aeschin. or. 3 Against Ctesiphon and Demosth. or. 18 On the Crown).

    His judgement on the relation of military in contrast to religious expenditure was and is so influential that Pritchard (2012) took it as an opportunity to once again precisely calculate the costs for both areas. In doing so, he draws on the fundamental study by P. Wilson (2008) for his analysis of urban Dionysia. – An international conference at the Bielefeld ZiF in September 2017 updated Boeckh’s interdisciplinary approach and tested different methodological approaches to the study of Athens’ public finances across disciplinary boundaries.

    Original Greek edition, 1st edition 1917, 2nd revised edition 1928, 3rd edition 1931. Andreades died in 1935 at the age of 64 and was unable to complete his wide-ranging enterprise.

  132. 132.

    Cf. for example the review by Hasebroek (1933).

  133. 133.

    Andreades was not a historian, but had studied law and economics in Paris and from 1902 held the only chair of economics in Greece at the University of Athens. It was in this capacity that he decided to write a handbook for students of economics and social science [Andreades (1931) XI]. – After the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923, about one and a half million Greek refugees arrived in Greece from Turkish territories, which led to a considerable increase in Athens’ population. The accompanying problems did not leave Andreades unscathed and directly influenced his interpretation of similarly structured conditions, as he himself noted [Andreades (1931) X]: “Living as we do in times of war and post-war economy, we now better understand the problems posed to the Greek world during and after the Peloponnesian War.”

  134. 134.

    Andreades (1931) 238–259 (Chapter III: Expenditures for the People), esp. 266/7: “Of the latter [the expenditure on the citizens, DR] the most important, that is to say the distributions and payments of money, cannot be judged leniently, for even if we admit that economic reasons (such as the nature of the soil, the competition with foreign countries and with slave labor) as well as the honest administration of the democratic government, imposed the adoption of such measures, we cannot deny that the abuses which accompanied their application were very great and were fatal to the state. More particularly the Theorikon, which was the culmination of the policy initiated by distributions and payments of salaries, was rightly characterized by Boeckh as the chief reason for the state’s fall – as the cancer that caused its death.” – Boeckh (1886) deals with theorika in two places in Volume 1 (pp. 224–226 and 274–287), the most succinct being his formulations on p. 276 (“cancer of Athenian state welfare”) and p. 224: “Durch das Theorikon (τὸ θεωρικόν, τὰ θεωρικά, oder θεωρικὰ χρήματα), die verderblichste Ausgeburt des Perikleischen Zeitalters, entstand in einem kleinen Freistaate eine Verschwendung, welche verhältnismäßig nicht geringer war als an den üppigsten Höfen, und große Summen verschlang, während die Kriege aus Geldmangel verloren gingen.”

  135. 135.

    How English-speaking authors assess the theorika can be seen, moreover, in the translation of the saying by Demades that the theorika were the glue (κόλλα) of democracy (Plut. mor. 1011 b: κόλλα τὰ θεωρικὰ τῆς δημοκρατίας). If modern viewers tend to be more negative, they prefer the rendering of κόλλα as “glue”, otherwise to “cement”, according to Brun (2000) 133.

    The basic argumentation was: While the Greek poleis of the fifth century could take on the overpowering Persians, by the fourth century they were incapable of fighting off the “barbarian” danger from the north. The decline weighed all the more heavily because it was self-inflicted, since the Athenians had allowed themselves to be driven into ruin out of laziness and ignorance. Had the Athenians listened to Demosthenes and not neglected their civic duties, had they not been concerned only with their own comfort financed by theorika and gone into battle themselves instead of hiring mercenaries, they could have maintained their military supremacy. – Burckhardt, however, in various studies published in 1995 and 1996 demonstrated that civic participation in military undertakings did not decline; Athens still sent out the entire contingent on certain occasions, cf. for example Demosth. or. 3,35. 4,7–8. 4,19. 4,24. 4,42 and 46. 6,6. 8,21. 9,67. 13,4–5.

He paints a particularly bleak picture in his study of war finance (eisphora, syntaxeis and stratiotika) in the almost forty years between the founding of the Second Athenian League (377) and its dissolution after the Battle of Chaeronaea (338). He attributed the loss of autonomy mainly to the fact that the Athenians had not been able to secure their finances in the long term and to put them on an adequate organizational basis in view of the permanent wars.

See the website for this project: http://www2.uni-erfurt.de/kriegskosten/ (last accessed 25.03.2015). However, the database has not been updated since July 2009. The project can be compared in approach with the Oxford Roman Economy Project, which was set up at about the same time and aims to clarify the foundations of the Roman economy using quantitative methods (http://oxrep.classics.ox.ac.uk/home/, last accessed 25.03.2015). What both projects have in common is that the presentation of the findings takes precedence over an question-driven interpretation.

    Sven Günther pursues a similar, multi-perspective approach with his concept of “economic regulatory frameworks”, with which he seeks to capture the political, legal, economic-geographical, social, cultural or religious steering mechanisms of economic action in the fourth century.
